When asking, "which is better," in Japanese, I could write どっちがマシ？

However マシ has a negative connotation, implying that even though something is
better it's still undesirable.

What's a word like マシ that I could use when asking "which is better?" that
doesn't have this negative connotation?

A word like マシ without the negative connotation


You can say

> どちらがよい?  
>  どっちがいい? [Colloquial]

without negative connotation. Or, if you want to imply that both are good, and
want to ask `Which is even better?`

> どちらがよりよい?  
>  どっちがよりいい? [Colloquial]
